Hello! Does anyone know how I can install the Slicer VR module? I’m currently using version 5.7.0-2024-09-03, and it doesn’t appear in the extensions manager. Should I update to the latest version, or is there a way to install it independently of the extensions manager?

Thank you very much in advance.

The SlicerVR extension unfortunately comes and goes. For example for the current nightly it does not build (see [here](https://github.com/KitwareMedical/SlicerVirtualReality/issues/183#issuecomment-2864150012)). It is possible that for the nightly you use it is also not available. The community makes a real effort to make sure everything works in the stable versions, while the preview versions are not that reliable.

The dashboard shows that the current stable (5.8.1) has a valid SlicerVR, so I’d start there.
